Thanks yet again Bob.  I can now adjust row heights in both HTML and FO.

                          ***BUT******BUT******BUT***

The value of row-height you put in is added on to some standard or 
default value - roughly 0.5cm (or about 20 pixels for HTML). For Fo 
using XEP 4.7:
put in    get
1.5cm     2.0cm
1.0cm     1.5cm
0.001cm   0.55cm
-0.3cm    +0.25cm
My measurements are done with a ruler on screen and paper - at best approx.

<?dbfo row-height="-0.3cm"?> get me a 2.5 mm blank row which is just 
about what I want.  See p.441 of your book, which reads that 
row-height sets the actual row height.

For HTML:
put in    get
20(px)    40
1         20
-10       20
There appears to be an absolute 20 pix minimum for HTML.
